Might not god be our intutive sense of belonging to something larger than ourselves, and the anthropomorphic idols and images simpy a child like attempt at put meat on the bones of pure mystery. For what is the term god but a metaphor for that mystery, the term in and of itself tells us nothing more of that mystery, and if your metaphor you get stuck with, you've shorted the spiritual experience of wonder. One cannot understand that the physical world as without meaning in the absence of a conscious subject and still entertain the idea that evil is anything more than the evalutation of the subject, I like, I do not like, evil that which I do not like.
